Turkey says Russia is keeping its promises on Syria
Turkey’s foreign minister Sunday said Russia has kept its recent promises to Turkey on upholding the cease-fire in Syria, Anadolu agency reported.
"In recent days, Russia has kept its promises on all efforts regarding the cease-fire, for humanitarian aid, for saving the people from there,” the war-battered city of Aleppo, Mevlut Chavushoglu said in southern resort province of Antalya, which he represents in parliament. "Furthermore, Russia has also given the necessary warnings to those violating the cease-fire."
Last week, Syrian opposition forces and the regime reached a cease-fire deal, brokered by Turkey and Russia, to evacuate civilians from eastern Aleppo to safe areas in opposition-held Idlib.
So far, 40,000 people have been evacuated from the area, according to Turkish authorities.
"Turkey has also kept its promises [towards Russia]," Chavushoglu said about the evacuation of civilians from Aleppo. "In this period, Russia and Turkey have trusted each other on strategic issues. Turkey and Russia have mutual trust in each other."
